The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County (EDMC) will hold their November recycling collection from 9 a.m. - noon on Saturday, January 8 at the Metra train station parking lot, 4005 Main St. in downtown McHenry. The drive collects certain materials that are not accepted by curbside trash haulers, but could damage the environment if put into landfills.
Accepted articles include rechargeable batteries, car batteries, lithium and button batteries; however, no alkaline batteries will be accepted. The Defenders also will collect fluorescent tubes, clean white Styrofoam, packing peanuts and unpopped bubble wrap. Electronics such as computers, phones, printers, electronic toys, TVs and computer monitors will be accepted for a donation. A donation is also requested for fluorescent bulbs and batteries that are brought in. The McHenry drive also conducts a buy-back of aluminum cans.
Information about recycling other materials may be found in the McHenry County Green Guide. Copies are available from the Defenders’ office at 110 Johnson St. in Woodstock, and a link to the guide is available at www.mchenry.edu/recycling.
The Defenders Recycling Drive is held from 9 a.m. - noon on the second Saturday of each month, and alternates between McHenry and Woodstock. In odd-numbered months, the collection is held at Metra station parking lot in McHenry, and in even-numbered months it is held in the McHenry County Farm Bureau parking lot in Woodstock.
For more information about the recycling drive schedule, locations, and materials that are accepted, visit www.mcdef.org or phone (815) 338-0393 during normal business hours.
